"The following is a student created blog regarding the history of the Petaluma Watershed. This blog is part of a series from students at Casa Grande participating in the Watershed Classroom with educators Paula Biancalana and Jolene Thinnes."

Harry Herold was a man in the early 1900’s who founded the first drug store in Petaluma. Harry Herold’s The Young Drug Company was located on the corner of Kentucky and Washington Street which was a great location in the middle of Petaluma. Harry was an important person because he supplied medication all around the bay area. Finally Harry’s business was in a great location because many items could be shipped in and out using the Petaluma river.
